1. For the uncatalyzed decomposition of H2O2(aq) to form H2O(l) and O2(g), the activation energy (Ea) and the change in energy(?E ) are 75.3kJ/mol and -98.1kJ/mol respectively.
a. Sketch the energy profile for this reaction.
b. What is the activation energy for the reverse reaction?
c. How would the energy profile change (if any) if thereaction had a two step mechanism and the first step is the ratedetermining step?
